Chinese Bean Curd Skin Rolls, also known as Ngo Hiang in Indonesia, are a popular snack and appetizer in Chinese cuisine. These rolls are made by wrapping a savory filling inside a thin sheet of bean curd skin, then frying or steaming until golden brown. The filling typically includes vegetables, meat, and/or seafood, seasoned with soy sauce, five-spice powder, and other spices. In this recipe, we have used seitan instead of meat, along with Chinese cabbage, onions, and carrots, to create a delicious and healthy vegan version of this classic dish.

Instructions

1.In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and salt to make the sauce.
2.In another bowl, soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in water until they soften.
3.Dice the onions and sliver the carrots, then set them aside.
4.Heat oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
5.Add the seitan, shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, onions, and carrots to the wok and stir-fry until the vegetables are tender.
6.Add the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the wok and stir-fry for an additional minute.
7.Mix cornstarch with water until it dissolves, then pour it into the wok and stir until the sauce thickens.
8.Spread a bean curd skin on a flat surface, then spoon some of the filling onto the skin.
9.Roll up the bean curd skin tightly and place it seam-side down on a platter.
10.Repeat steps 8 and 9 with the remaining bean curd skins and filling.
11.Garnish with sliced scallions and chopped cilantro, if desired.
